Daehyun just sat there in shock...

Two things reeled in his mind....."nobody rebels against the king","Seonghwa".

"What do you mean rebelling, who is Seonghwa?" Dae thought to himself. Daehyun sat in his bed, deep in thought until he decided hey he'll go to the courtyard to get some fresh air and clear his mind. "Ok..ok it's fine whatever I just saw was nothing" Dae thought to himself as he made his way out and sat down on the fountain the the courtyard.
About 20 minutes passed, Daehyun sat admiring the stars, trying to clear his head when all of a sudden..

Bang!

There was a noise that came from the far side of the courtyard. Even more startled then he was, Daehyun decided to check it out. As he got closer he saw two people, both dressed in black, one of them trying to get into the castle while the other was staring near the door. "Hey, what are you doing here" Daehyun shouted at the two people trying to break into the castle, he staring going towards them but was met with the person that was by the door. "Who in the hell are you" Daehyun said as him and the boy started to fight, they both fought for a few minutes and when Daehyun reeled back his fist to hit the boy, another hand caught his.
"stop this, you are not who you think you are" the other boy gritted through his teeth. Daehyun looked at him confused "what do you mean, my name is Daehyun" he spat back. The man released him from his grip and looked at him "your name isn't Daehyun, your name is Seonghwa and you wer-." Before he could finish, the alarms sounded and they heard guards, "Shit Jongho we gotta go" the boy yelled towards his partner, once he picked him up, they ran into the darkness.
Left confused and shocked, Daehyun sat there until the guards and his parents ran out to where he was, "Dae what happened,are you hurt" his mother asked, "I'm fine, I came out because I-...I just wanted to see the stars" Daehyun replied, not wanting to disclose the actual reason on why he had come outside.
Both his mother and his father looked at each other then at him and nodded, however they knew who had triggered the alarm and knew that Daehyun had seen the people. "Ah Dae it's late, come on let's get you back to bed" his father said as he walked up to him and wrapped his arm around him, taking him to his room.

However, they won't be taking him to his room, you see... the king and queen know who showed up and had talked to Daehyun, they are known as the black pirates and they are wanted for the worst crime in strictland; dancing. They were both scared that Daehyun was gonna find out the truth of the world and about who he really is; even worse......revolt. So that had to do something.....erase his memory permanently.

Daehyun was slowly guided through the halls of the castle with the continuous playback of his nightmare and what the boy had said to him in his mind, "nobody rebels against the king, your name is not daehyun, the woman in his dream yelling seonghwa", all of that played in his mind. However he noticed they walked past his room, "mom dad where are we going, we walked past my room" Daehyun asked confusedly. His parents looked at each other and sighed " we are just going to make sure you are ok from what you saw", Daehyun stopped in his tracks and a look of confusion swept across his face "wha- what do you mean im fine it didn't hurt me." His father looked at him "yes what you just saw and heard is something that is wrong and should not be near you-", before his father could finish Daehyun shouts "what do you mean wrong, I- who am I, what have you been doing that you aren't telling me about." His mother spoke "You are Daehyun, the prince, our-" Daehyun yelled " no, because why did I see in my dream the royal guard taking a baby,killing people and staying nobody rebels against the king and the same people were shouting seonghwa"," what do they mean by rebelling, what are your you hiding from me" he finished with tears starting to form in his eyes.

Both his parents exchanged looks....they need to get it out of his mind, His father approached him and grabbed him by his arm "look what you are saying is not true, but we need to get this stuff out of your head." "No I won't let you, I want to know the truth" Daehyun yelled, his whole nightmare and the words from the boy still playing in his mind, was he scared, confused...yes. His father began dragging him towards a room, but Daehyun managed to get out of his grip and run, his mind saying run...get out. He continued to run and managed to make it out of the castle, but not before he overheard his father order the guard to stop him, then all of a sudden he heard gunshots rang towards him. He soon realized; his father was trying to kill him.

The sun has begun to rise over the horizon, bullets continued to ring out, one eventually striking him in the arm, but Daehyun continued to run, his mind was so scrambled he didn't know what to think. Eventually he made it to the forest, once he was deep into the forest he slowed down, tears clouded his vision as he looked at his arm, blood running down, staining his clothes. What was next for him, his mind was constantly eating at him and he is now stranded, lost, confused, and now...hurt. Daehyun sat down once he figured he was far enough from the castle,"I-...I-", he couldn't even speak before he just broke down sobbing, clutching his arm as everything that happened in the last two hours finally caught up to him.....

What is the truth.....

Was the world not as perfect as he thought......
